Romelu Lukaku joins Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports agency as Manchester United star is 'welcomed to the family' with trip to Brooklyn Nets game

Romelu Lukaku has joined Jay-Z's management agency Roc Nation Sports.

The Manchester United striker posted three photos on Instagram and was 'welcomed to the family' in New York. 

Jay-Z's talent stable orginated as Roc Nation, an entertainment company, before branching out to Roc Nation Sports and Lukaku is the first Premier League addition to the talent stable. 

The Belgian is the second footballer after Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng to join the roster. 

For the most part Roc Nation Sports boasts a clientele from the NFL, MLB and NBA and a couple of big names greeted the 24-year-old. 

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette swapped shirts with Lukaku.

The forward also posed alongside wide-receiver Victor Cruz and Shawn 'Pecas' Costner, a senior management executive at Roc Nation Sports.

No doubt the signing of Lukaku is a coup for the agency and they were keen to roll out the red carpet to welcome their latest addition. 

Costner wrote on his Instagram: 'Couple of family members welcoming Romelu Lukaku to the Roc Nation Sports family.'
